Congratulations to our five students who
competed at the 2017 Special Olympics GB
National Summer Games this August.
Jack Dickson, Laura Logan, Michael McLelland,
Connaire McLindon and Frances Smilie trained
hard for the past few months after learning
about their Olympic Games selection.
Jack and Frances took part in tennis events
and brought gold medals back to Ayrshire in
their singles events before joining forces in the
mixed doubles to bring home another gold
medal each.
